I've had this error occur to me for the Music, Movies and TV, Photos, and Candy Crush App.
I resolved it by ensuring the "Windows License Management Service", under services.msc is not disabled.

Hi,
I'm using Windows 10 and recently I can't start Groove Music, it appears for one seconds and then automatically shutdowns afterward. When I tried to open the .mp3 file using Groove, this message appears:

Please tell me how to fix this. Thank you.

To resolved it first go to services.msc then find "Windows License Management Service". Then you have to enable it. Problem solved.

Well I might have disabled those apps somehow because the Mail, Calendar and Movie & TV are also not working.
Do you know how to turn it back on?
